연구 결과: 일반적으로 데이터 다양성이 많을수록 좋다고 예상하지만, 크로스-엠바디먼트(cross-embodiment) 전이에는 서로 짝지어진(paired) 서로 다른 엠바디먼트 데이터가 다양성 증가보다 더 유리하다는 발견을 보고합니다. 관련 웹페이지·코드(data-analogies)와 arXiv 논문 링크 제공.

Usually, we expect more diverse data >> less diverse data. Cross-embodiment transfer seems to benefit from paired data across embodiments, more so than increasing diversity. Webpage & code: https://t.co/kI1j2xheh3 Paper: https://t.co/gPIzYPtEBU

Vision LLMs may skip training data, but you still need test images.

‘Thousands of authors including Kazuo Ishiguro, Philippa Gregory and Richard Osman have published an “empty” #book to protest against #AI firms using their work without permission.’

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/mar/10/thousands-authors-publish-empty-book-protest-ai-work-copyright

Yet #copyright itself has long been criticised as part of broader systems of enclosure and #SettlerViolence. So the assertion of copyright is not a victimless crime, any more than is the training of AI #chatbots and image generators on vast #datasets (often scraped without permission from the open web, digital repositories and shadow or #pirate libraries containing copyrighted books).

So what exactly is being defended here? Do the authors protesting against the training of AI really not know the long history of critique of copyright? Or do they know perfectly and are just too selfish and are profiting too much from it themselves to want to challenge it or think of something different?
